Dual Compressor Plumbing

[Alvin]

Trying to get my truck mobile before winter sets in and a big part of that is wiring and plumbing the air ride. I have dual Thomas compressors (one 327, one 337) and dual 3 gallon tanks. I'm trying to figure out what is required to run both compressors.

Is it possible to run both compressors to a T fitting connected to a check valve on one of the tanks? My concern was with one compressor feeding back into the other.

I only have one check valve so running one compressor to each tank isn't an option.

Thanks!

I can't see any reasonable way to plumb 2 compressors with only 1 check valve. If it were me, I'd buy another check valve and run a compressor to each tank and have the 1 tank fill the left side and the other the right side...

That was my conclusion as well. Guess I'll be going shopping afterall!

Do the Thomas compressors not have check valves built in to the leader hose?

Not familiar with them is the reason I ask.

Correct, no leader hose on the Thomaseses.

Just to get things moving I'll be hooking up one compressor and tank at this point. Once I get some of the other projects done I'll install the second compressor and tank.
